BACKGROUND Severe damage to the tooth, periodontal ligament, and pulpal tissue often occurs with intrusive luxation, and outcomes are quite unpredictable because of the variable ways in which the injury may occur, which influences both the choice of treatment and prognosis. CASE REPORT This case presents a novel method for the management of an intruded permanent maxillary central incisor with...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the thickness of buccal and palatal alveolar bone and buccal bony curvature below root apex in maxillary anterior teeth of Korean adults using Cone-beam CT images. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 3D image was reconstructed with dicom file obtained through CBCT from 20 - 39 year old Korean subjects (n = 20). The thickness of buccal and palatal plate, roo...

The purpose of this study involving a sample of children with single central incisor crossbite was to determine the relationship between clinical crown lengths of the crossbite and noncrossbite mandibular incisors, incisor irregularity, and orthodontic correction of the crossbite. In addition, for comparison, the normal maturational change in position of the labial gingival margin of mandibular...

BACKGROUND Malpositioning of the endotracheal tube within the airway leads to serious complications such as endobronchial intubation. Prediction of the correct depth of an endotracheal tube is important and should be individualized. The manubriosternal joint (MSJ) is on the same horizontal plane with the tracheal carina. We compared the straight length from the upper incisor to the MSJ in the f...

The consequences of traumatic injuries are pulp necrosis, periapical inflammation, and possible external cervical resorption (ECR). concomitant cessation root maturation dentinogenesis in premature teeth result a fragile tooth. Revascularization the might be an alternative treatment option. A 12-year-old patient was referred for retreatment chronic apical periodontitis with acute exacerbation a...

The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for complete endodontic obturation of an immature maxillary central incisor is reported. The injured tooth of a 9-year-old male was avulsed secondary to a sports-related traumatic event. Early attempts at pulpal revascularization of the replanted tooth proved unsuccessful, as evidenced by radiographic signs of external inflammatory root resorption in ...

Traumatic dental injury is considered a public dental health problem because of a high childhood incidence, high treatment costs, and prolonged treatment time. Although management guidelines for traumatized teeth have been outlined, tooth loss following trauma is occasionally unavoidable. Here, we describe the successful interdisciplinary management of a traumatized central incisor in an 11-yea...

This article describes esthetic improvement in a patient with a missing maxillary left central incisor. Space analysis of the anterior dentition showed that minor tooth rearrangement was needed. Optimal space distribution for restorations was attained by orthodontic treatment. Through transforming tooth shape with porcelain laminate veneers, the maxillary left lateral incisor was transformed in...

Background: A common problem that requires orthodontic intervention is maxillary lateral incisor agenesis. A common treatment for this problem is to open space for a maxillary lateral incisor implant. However, that treatment is expensive. Often, parents with this problem wonder if their children will also have this anomaly. Objective: To determine the relative risk of a parent with maxillary la...
